Some areas of the Site deserve special treatment because they contain information that most people would expect to be private. These sections include e-mail communications, instant message communications, homepages that are not marked "public," and personal photo albums that are not marked "public" ("Community Content"). Please note: marking a homepage or photo album "public" means that all visitors to our Site will be able to see the homepage or photo album and that the content will be licensed to us as "Member Content" under the terms explained above.

In general, we will not monitor, edit or disclose Community Content. We will only do so when we have reason to believe that disclosing it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who is causing you injury, or is injuring or interfering with the Services or Lowepro's rights, or with other visitors to the Site. We may also reveal Community Content when we are required by the law, which includes responding to demands by law enforcement, civil and administrative authorities, usually in the form of a subpoena for information. We may also disclose the Community Content to identify or fix technical problems or respond to complaints about the Services.

Conduct of Members and Visitors

We believe that all members and visitors benefit from basic rules regarding conduct while using the Services so that everyone feels free to share opinions and ideas.

If we receive a subpoena by a third party that is not a governmental agency (for example, a subpoena in connection with civil litigation), we will contact the user whose identity has been requested using the contact information the user provided during the registration process. We will wait 10 days after notifying the user before complying with the subpoena, unless the subpoena requires us to disclose this information before then. If we cannot wait 10 days because of the deadline in the subpoena, we will let the user know the deadline included in the subpoena when we provide notice that we received it.

You understand that you are personally responsible for your behavior while on the Site and the Lowepro Sites, and agree to indemnify and hold Lowepro and its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, and their officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any loss, damage, liability, cost or expense of any kind (including attorneys' fees and costs) that we may incur in connection with a third party claim or otherwise, in relation to your use of the Services, access to the Site or the affiliated Sites, your violation of either these Terms or the rights of any third party and/or in connection with the Rebates, prizes, disclosure of membership passwords and any other matter in connection with your participation in the Rebates Program.
